Is this pillow comfortable for straight back tubs? I'm looking for something that will add some contour, as the shape of my tub is not comfortable.

Maybe, but it is pretty flat. It works great in a regular angled tub and I prefer it to the blow up kind because it is flat. On the other hand, the top part would potentially sit on the top edge and cushion your head while the bottom part might support your back. It is hard to say without seeing your tub.

It's OK, not the best suction to stick to bathtub! It's comfortable though, when it stays in place!

Yes, I would say it holds it's shape very well. The pillow holds you up and gives you the extra height you need in the spa. I love mine and would recommend it.

I sleep on my back or side so I'm unable to give you any guidance. I really like this pillow and don't know why it wouldn't be comfortable for those sleeping on their stomach too.

I sometimes sleep on my back. The contour is slight and feels comfortable. not sure how much of a contour you want but both ways feel great to me! I have spent so much money on doctors, pillows and aids but this is the best investment I have made.

No, it's not rough at all. Your tub will just not have that slippery feel to it. It works really good.

Hi, I also have a tempur-pedic bed. They take time to soften up. Fold the pillow in half and sit on while watching TV. The cloud is the only pillow in the last 5 years I like. I have arthritis in my upper back and all other pillows are too flat or hard. I paid 3500$ for the tempur-pedic bed and it's worth every penny. The pillow gets better its big and stiff in the beginning though...

Not at all. If anything, the gel will give you just a little extra support for your head and neck and with the nice cover that comes with the pillow, you don't feel the bumps in the cooling gel at all. If you are sensitive to the bumps, you can just turn the pillow over and use the plain "dough" side. Either way, it's a very comfortable high quality pillow.

I use mine as decorative bed pillows, however it seems pretty firm. I would still consider getting a firmer pillow, specifically noted for lumbar support.

As you said, the photo is not a 100% accurate depiction of the pillow itself. I believe they wanted to accentuate the curves to show the shape of the pillow. No the V is not as prominent, but then again, I feel if it were too deep, it would be uncomfortable. Personally, I love this pillow. I have been using it for weeks. Sometimes I use the traction part, or rotate it for the support. If that end is too wide for you, just flip it over to the other side. This is the first of many pillows I have purchased that has not become a "cat bed". :)

No cushiion; I use a flat pillow. Yes, mine is bone-shaped, but no pilow proivided.

Yes it is comfortable, I think the Rubbermaid (white) one was more comfortable and safer on tubs with textured floors though. This one has a bad smell that takes awhile to go away. I agree with Jessica!

I sleep on my side and find it a reasonably comfortable pillow. You should know it is firm, perhaps even hard in the sense that most stuffed pillows will gradually shift their stuffing, settling into the shape of your head. This one does not do that very much, it is not hard like a brick but neither does it let you sink into it very far. While I can not speak for others, I would expect that if you like a solid, slightly yielding pillow, this is for you. If your preference runs to the more squishy pillows you probably will not like it.

You can probably do that, although I believe it's going to take a looooong time for it to soften, keep in mind that you want the whole tub to soften, not just the outer edge. Hope this helps.

it's comfortable. In fact I like it better than being constrained to seats. Can adjust my height in the spa just by sitting up or slumping down and putting my feet out. Only drawback might be if you try to fit more than a couple of other people in the tub.

The pillow is made of memory foam. It is rather heavy for it's size. Do what you want but I sure wouldn't use it as a bath pillow.

If your tub has a very flat surface, it should be fine. If the inner edge is beveled, I don't think it would be as supportive due to shere the support bars to the handle would be positioned. My tub is 4.5 and the base of the support bars is off center and very close to the beveled edge. I wouldn't want it any closer. it's a wonderful devise and very reliable. Hope you can find a way to use it safely.

I got the tri-core pillow because someone else with bulging discs recommended it. I like it for laying flat on my back but don't like it for when I roll to my side. My tempurpedic is better for side sleeping (but not back sleeping). Basically, some nights I switch between 2-3 pillows.
